It was early in the morning across the campus of the university. Many people's communicators beeped at the same time, waking people from a very restful slumber. In those rooms the lights clicked on and the people answered the call.
     "Alex here *yawn* what's the problem?" one of the people asked, stretching the kinks out of his body.
     "Guys, this is Ami. There is a large asteroid heading towards your area."
     "Can't it wait until morning?" Adderson Martin, Alex's roommate, asked, pulling the covers around his body to hide his state of undress.
     "By then it may be too late and we can't get to your position in time."
     "What's the location for the proposed impact?" Jack, Alex's and Adderson's neighbor, asked as quietly as possible as not to wake his sleeping roommate.
     "The field house should be your meeting place. Ami out."
     The Warriors and Senshi who lived at the university all dressed and made their way to the meeting place. Though it was dark they managed to get across the campus, and with a gentle breeze those with long hair had their hair blown dramatically. Once they reached the field house the group looked to the heavens to see a streak of light coming their way. They looked to one another for strength, nodded, and took their power items from their pockets and raised them to the sky, calling out their power up phrases.

     A matter of moments later they reappeared on the asteroid. Alex once again consulted his visor and computer as to the location of the insects. After scanning the area for a minute he said, "Battle positions!"
     "What's up?" Mike asked, drawing his saber.
     "Yeah," Jordan added as he drew his twin swords, "what's up?"
     "You'll see in a matter of seconds," Alex said, producing his glaive. As soon as the glaive materialized, a mass of giant insects appeared.
     "Holy sh*t!!" Adderson exclaimed, "Those things are HUGE!"
     "Oh baby!" Dennis said, "We're seriously screwed!"
     "And these are just the ground troops," Alex said as the data came to him, "We still haven't seen their air support, their heavy artillery, or their backup."
     "Well, what are we waiting for?!" Jason asked, "Let's squash us some bugs!!"
     Just then some music blasted through the air, leaving the heroes puzzled. It took a couple seconds before Alex realized what the melody was.
     "It's the 'Chrono Trigger' final battle music!" he exclaimed, a little shocked.
     "Why do I get a bad feeling about this?" Josh asked.
     "I don't know," Alison said, "but those bugs are starting to get too close for comfort!"
    "Blazing Blade Boomerang!"
     The flaming disc flew through the air, slicing a bug in half on the first pass and a pair of bugs on the return pass. The group who were surrounded by bugs looked up to see Warriors Hellfire, Thunderbolt, Arctic Chill, Sun, and Nova. The five Warriors were floating in mid air, all in dramatic poses, weapons drawn and ready for battle. The other Warriors and Senshi were in a state of shock when they saw the five newcomers.
     "Hey," Rich said, grinning, "what would you do without us?"
     "Probably learn to think on our own," Mike shouted back. Just then a flying insect began a dive bomb attack on Rich. Rich turned around in time to see the bug closing in on his position, yet without enough time to react.
     "Moon Saber - Riot Blade!!"
     The ring lasers struck the bug head on, blinding it and throwing it off of its course and into a mountain side. Rich and the other four landed among the others and Rich said to Mike, "Thanks for the save."
     "Hey, no problem," Mike replied, "We gotta look out for one another."
     "Why are you guys here anyway?" Adderson asked, "I mean, we received the call and were the first here."
     "We're the original Star Senshi," Matt said, "It's part of the job."
     "Yeah," Steve said, "We've been there since Day 1 and we'll be there to the end!"
     "And this may be the end if we don't hurry up and destroy the bugs and the meteor," Rachel said, picturing the end result if they were to fail.
     "She's right," Dan said, "and this may take some time."
     "Ok, whatever," Dennis said, "Mortal Attack - Blizzard Fist!"
     Dennis raised his right hand into the air, ice energy glowing around the fist. He then performed an arm roll into a punch, which released the built up energy in a massive, icy wave, which blasted some of the bugs into the surrounding mountains.
     "X Beam Cannon!"
     Jordan crossed his swords, the blades glowing with energy. There was a spark at the crossing point, which was followed by a blast of piercing energy needles. He turned his body so the attack struck as many bugs as possible. Though many bugs fell with the first wave of the attack, many more appeared to take the places of the fallen ones.
     "Cryo Blast!"
     Richard notched an arrow into his bow and drew back the string. Ice energy collected around the arrow head, ultimately forming a sphere. Rich then released the arrow, which soared through the air and struck a bug in the torso, piercing the heavy armor and striking what was inside. The ice energy dissipated into the surrounding flesh, freezing the bug solid and shattering it.
     "Halo Laser Slash!"
     Rachel threw her chakram at one of the larger insects. As it soared through the air she pointed her index finger at the blade, a laser firing from it and wrapping around the boomerang, turning it into a type of energy saw blade. The chakram slashed through one insect, then four others, and another six on is return pass to Rachel's hand. She caught her weapon and returned it to the catch on her belt.
     "Where did that attack come from?" Alex asked once the action ended.
     "It sounded a little better than cut," Rachel replied, "Besides, it works a hell of a lot better."
     "Umm... did anyone else feel the ground shake just now?" Tod asked. There was silence and a couple seconds later the ground rumbled yet again. All around them the insect troops backed away like they knew something, opening a large circle.
     "Why do you suppose they did that?" Dennis asked.
     "I'm getting a bad feeling about this," Nate said.
     "Same here," Alex said as the ground began to crack around them, "Once the next rumble occurs, we leap."
     The next rumble was a doozy, for the head of a giant bug broke through the ground. Fortunately the group braced and used the energy of break through to spring board through the air. As they soared to new heights, the big bug burped a fireball at the fleeing heroes in hopes of roasting them.
     "Rich, ice that suck!" Steve shouted as they dodged the plume of flames.
     "I'm on it," Rich said, a small ball of blue flames forming in his left palm, "Cold Wildfire!"
     Rich hurled the flames of ice fire at the stream coming from the bug and a real fire fight began. The two met and a battle battle of power ensued. As Rich fought for control, a massive flying bug swooped down to attack him, but fortunately Jack and Jason were on top of it.
     "Comet Shot!"
     "Star Missile!"
     The flaming dagger and the crystal shard sliced the bug into thirds, splattering Rich with green blood. To add irony and insult to injury and to the situation, the central half of the bug dropped down and plugged up the nozzle of the flame throwing bug. A couple seconds later the big bug exploded, covering everyone in orange blood.
     "Awww, damnit!" Tod whined when he looked at his stained outfit, "This is dry clean only!"
     "You don't have to worry about your hair," Alyssa whined, wringing the orange blood from her prized tresses, "It's gonna take me forever to get this junk out and to condition my hair back to normal."
     "Can we worry about his later?!" Adderson asked, the orange blood contrasting with the black of his armor and pants, smears of orange blood on his face, "We still have more bugs to beat!"
     "We gotta do this as a team," Alex said, powering up the Chaos Emeralds in his gauntlets.
     "Damn straight," Matt said, backing up to the others, "What's the plan?"
     "Rich, you and I create a fog bank, which will cut down on the bug's visibility. Jordan, prepare to shield the others. Everyone else, power up for attack, but hold off on releasing until the bugs are confused, then give them everything you have."
     "Right!" everyone else said.
     Rich and Alex formed bubbles between their palms before both shouting, "Double Shabon Spray!" The two streams of bubbles burst forth, forming a pea - soup fog, which limited visibility to practically nothing and confused the bugs. With the bugs wondering what was happening, the Warriors and twin Senshi attacked.
     "Plasma Wave Ignite!"
     Steve took his twin swords from their sheathes and crossed them until the blades began to glow a brilliant green - yellow, then slashed the air with the swords and stopping the downward swipe when the hilts lined up with a group of bugs. Energy swirled around the blades before exploding forth in a seemingly endless wave of plasma. The energy ignited upon impact, burning the bugs to a crisp.

     The minute the Warriors and twin Senshi reappeared they looked to the sky, just in time to see a brilliant flash of light, followed by a massive meteor shower. They then waited for a flash of light which would signal Alex's return to Earth. After five minutes they looked at one another and bowed their heads for a moment of silence to remember their brave leader and the great, yet ever so stupid, sacrifice he made so the planet would live on. At that moment something fell from the tree behind them and bounce off of Derek's head before clanging to the ground at their feet. Alison bent down and picked the item up.
     "It's Alex's ring," she said, holding it up, "he must still be alive!"
     "Hello down there!" came from the branches in the tree behind them. Dan created an orb of light, which he sent floating up into the tree. A minute later they could see Alex slumped over one of the topmost branches, a stupid - ass smile on his face.
     "Can you help me down from here?" he asked, "I'm kinda... stuck."
     "I'll get you down," Matt said, spinning his axe around, a wry grin on his face.
     "Um... no... DON'T!!" Alex began to whine, but it was too late. Matt had released the blade boomerang, which hacked through the branch Alex was suspended on. Upon the return to Matt's hand the branch separated from the rest of the tree and dropped suddenly, taking Alex to the ground with it. The two landed in a loud CRUNCH, followed by Alex moaning, "Oh, my head."
     "You ok man?" Mike asked, helping Alex to his feet.
     "Yeah," Alex groaned, "I'm pooped."
     "We save the world yet again and he's exhausted," Derek grumbled under his breath, "go figure."
     "I think we all deserve a rest," Alison said, yawning and stretching out.
     "We'll catch ya round," Rachel said as she, Steve, Matt, Rich, and Dan teleported back home.  Once they were gone the other Warriors and twin Senshi returned to their mortal forms, said their good-byes, and returned to their dorm rooms and apartments for some much deserved rest and relaxation. The following few days brought on a period of no activity from the Negaverse or any other forces of evil, giving the Senshi and Warriors the rest they so much needed and deserved.
